VMB faults called me back today they tell me that theer was a complete network 'break/outage' at around the time I experienced the problem in this area. However I didn't experience a total outage - just frequent periods of dropping SNR that caused loss of sync. All seems ok now though the modem logs show T3 timeouts still happenign up to 9am this morning, yet the fault was supposedly cleared in the early hours of the morning.

Since then all seems fine. What I do notice when I reboot the modem is that initially the downstream syncs at around 50 Mb/s on channle number 228, and then it will change to the correct sync speed usually on Ch 7
